water freezes at zero.

the temperature at which the fluid in your radiator freezes depends on the antifreeze

james just with the cold snap that we are all having and the temps going down to between -10 and -20 i was woundering what the temp would need to be before the water in the radiator bottle would freeze just out of interest

VW G12+ Coolant additive (the pink stuff) is rated as per the following mixture ratios (G12 is the 1st no, water is the 2nd):
2:3 rated to -24 deg C
1:1 rated to -36 "
3:2 rated to -52 "

If you read your post you asked what temperature water freezes at.....not anti-freeze. Thats why zero was mentioned

Like mentioned above it depends on the ratio of water to anti-freeze

thats the answer i was looking for i thought it was some where around the 20's

It depends how much antfreeze you have and how much its diluted by.
